[PATCH] tty: vt: use memdup_user to reuse the code

From: Rahul Pathak
Date: Sat Dec 19 2015 - 13:45:41 EST


Fixing coccicheck warning which recommends to use memdup_user instead
to reimplement its code, using memdup_user simplifies the code

./drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:1709:9-16: WARNING opportunity for memdup_user
./drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:1752:9-16: WARNING opportunity for memdup_user
